ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The Covered vs Balloon Expandable Stent Trial (COBEST) is the first multicenter trial to investigate the patency of covered stents (CSs) and bare-metal stents (BMSs) in the treatment of aortoiliac arterial disease. The short-term results demonstrated that CSs were superior to BMSs in maintaining patency for TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) C and D lesions at 18 months and were equivalent to BMSs for TASC B lesions. The current study was conducted to determine if the initial patency advantage of CSs over BMSs was sustained at the 5-year follow-up.METHODS:
A retrospective post hoc analysis of COBEST was performed. Originally, 125 patients with 168 iliac arteries were prospectively enrolled and randomly assigned to receive a CS or BMS. In this study, 77 of the 125 patients (61.6%; 119 limbs) were assessed at 60 months for the primary and secondary end points, with particular attention paid to the outcomes stratified according to TASC lesion severity. The primary end point was the rate of binary stenosis or freedom from stent occlusion of the treated area, as determined by ultrasound imaging or quantitative visual angiography.RESULTS:
The 5-year results of the COBEST showed that the CS had a significantly higher patency rate than the BMS at 18, 24, 48, and 60 months (95.1%, 82.1%, 79.9%, 74.7% for CS vs 73.9%, 70.9%, 63% and 62.5% for BMS; log-rank test, P = .01). On multivariate analysis, the type of stent used (hazard ratio [HR], 2.797; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.471-5.318; P = .002) and the Rutherford classification (HR, 2.019; 95% CI, 1.278-3.191; P = .026) significantly affected the adjusted primary patency. On subgroup analysis, the CS showed significantly higher patency and a survival benefit compared with the BMS in TASC C and D lesions (HR, 8.639; 95% CI, 54.253-75.753; P = .003). Moreover, fewer patients received target limb revascularization in the CS group than in the BMS group (odds ratio, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.47-3.36; P = .02); however, there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of amputations between the groups.CONCLUSIONS:
The 5-year results of the COBEST demonstrated that the CS has an enduring patency advantage over the BMS in both the short and long terms. Furthermore, the CS showed acceptable patency rates for the treatment of more severe TASC C and D lesions, and patients who received a CS required fewer revascularization procedures. However, the choice of stent did not affect the rate of major limb amputations.
